It's really not that decided. The rule of thumb that I use is whether<br>
when you search for one of a set, would you expect to see another<br>
object in that set. eg search for pineapple, get orange (not likely)<br>
or search for, sun, get sun and cloud (likely?).</blockquote><div><br>True. I get that. The orange and pineapple are part of a set though. That's specific set so it was probably a bad example to ask about. It would suit being separate OR together. The sun and clouds make sense though.<br>
<br>This brings up linking to other files. Taking the Pineapple and Orange again, It would be good to be able to go "Oh and here's the others in this set" or "Here's a pineapple done by someone else", so that you get the maximum amount of clipart related as possible. Someone suggested using remixes, but having a clipart done by someone else, in an unrelated way or style, with no possible connection to another file (except for the fact they are both named "Pineapple") labeled as a remix doesnt make logical sense to me. Nor do I know how to use the remix yet.<br>
<br>I know you can search for specifics with tags, but I find OCAL quite linear to work with (in a bad way)...You go down one path and you have to backtrack lots, or start completely fresh in a different search. I'd love to see OCAL become more lateral in it's approach. I'd like to be able to see other clipart from one clipart's page, for example: Chovynz's Orange, and over in the sidebar we can see other orange cliparts thumbnails, to see if any other better suit's the purpose. <br>

That said, if in doubt I normally upload them separately. (although i<br>
tend to have 3 or 4 styles per clipart, especially when it is traced:<br>
outline, colour, black and white, ect. which I tend to upload as one<br>
entry)<br>

</blockquote><div><br>Does each uploaded file count as new clipart? Or does each entry count as one clipart (with possibly 10 files underneath that entry (like the <a href="http://openclipart.org/media/files/sivvus/9497">weather icons</a>)<br>
